Before Driving
n Break In
Avoid har d braking for the first 200 miles (300 km). You should also follow this
recommendation when the brake pads are replaced.
n
Exterior Checks
Make sure ther

e are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior lights, or other
parts of the vehicle.
Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
Make sure the hood and hatch are securely closed.
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite flammable materials in the engine
compartment, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an extended period, inspect
and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried grass and leaves that have
fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by a small animal. Also check for leftover
flammable materials after you or someone else has performed maintenance on your vehicle.
Make sure the tires are in good condition.
Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle.

DRIVINGDRIVING
If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to melt any ice. Do not
try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim around the doors. When done,
wipe dry to avoid further freezing.
NOTICE
n
Interior Checks
Store or secure all items

on board properly.
Do not pile items higher than the seat height.
Do not place anything in the footwells. Make sure to secure the floor mats.
If you have any animals on board, do not let them move freely in the vehicle.
Securely close and lock both doors.
Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.
Everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you start the vehicle,
and go off soon after.
Improper accessories or modifications can affect your vehicle’s handling,
stability, and performance, and cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt
or killed.
Follow all instructions in the vehicle owner’s manual regarding accessories and
modifications.
WARNING
Maximum Load Limit
Carrying too much cargo or improperly storing it can affect your vehicle’s handling, stability,
stopping distance, and tires, and make it unsafe.
The maximum load for your vehicle is 507 lbs (230 kg). See the Tire and Loading Information
label on the driver’s doorjamb. The maximum load in the trunk is 100 lbs (45 kg).
The vehicle maximum load includes the total weight of all occupants, cargo,
accessories, and the tongue load if you are towing a trailer. Below are the steps for
determining the correct load limit:
1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.
2.
Determine the combined weight of the driver

and passengers that will be riding in your
vehicle.
3.
Subtract the combined weight of the driver

and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4.
The resulting figure equals

the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For
example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in
your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1,400 -
750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
High Voltage Battery Maintenance
All batteries discharge if not used. For best battery life and capacity, drive your vehicle for at
least 30 minutes, at least once every three months. Try to avoid parking under direct summer
sun. For battery maintenance while storing the vehicle, see page 207.

208 || 209
SPECIFICATIONSMAINTENANCE
• If possible, remove the vehicle from the garage or enclosed area, remove covering, and
periodically run the engine until it reaches full operating temperature (the cooling fan cycles
on and off twice). Preferably, do this once a month.
•
To maintain the High V

oltage battery, drive your vehicle for more than 30 minutes at least
once every three months.
If road conditions are not suitable or desirable for driving, the following alternate procedure can
be used to maintain the vehicle’s High Voltage battery if local laws permit idling:
1.
Remove

the vehicle from the garage or enclosed area to prevent carbon monoxide
accumulation.
2.
Depress the brake pedal and pr

ess the ENGINE START/STOP button as you normally would
to start the vehicle.
3.
Allow the vehicle

to run for 30 minutes. Time spent at idle stop still counts as part of this
30-minute run.
Paint Care
Your vehicle’s paint requires up to 60 days from the production date to fully cure. During this
time, avoid applying any wax or paint sealant-type products, as they could hinder the curing
process and affect the paint’s durability.
You may polish the paint during these 60 days if the polishes do not contain any wax or paint
sealant ingredients. Use only clean, high-quality microfiber towels or pads, as they are softer
material and have less chance of scratching the finish. It is absolutely necessary to keep the
microfiber towels or pads properly cleaned and maintained before using on your vehicle.
